-A bomb left in a bag exploded near a shopping mall in the capital of Russia's turbulent Dagestan Republic on Wednesday, killing two teenagers, the internal ministry said.

Mainly Muslim Dagestan, in recent years the home of the parents of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing, has been affected by an Islamist insurgency for over a decade since a war in adjacent Chechnya, where Russian federal security forces forced Islamist separatists from power.

"Two teenagers were killed and two men are in a hospital in a serious but stable condition," a spokesman for the Russian Interior Ministry in Moscow said.

"Don't worry, Gretchen. We've been assured that the bomb which killed your sons wasn't a pressure cooker bomb."

Probably a response to the raids and deaths done by the Russians over the weekend.
